I do not know if it was a rifle or a handgun. First.... either or, if the accused pointed it and pulled the trigger "knowing" it was unloaded then that means he had the intent to "dryfire" the weapon. No gun owner in southern wv is going to dryfire a weapon. Thats just how life is. Now... some will say, maybe it was a revolver, and it rolled over to the next round. Same theory. Now if it was a rifle... that still doesnt make sense to me. So Ill say what if hes given the benefit of the doubt, that he honestly didnt know the gun was loaded, or partially loaded? And was playing a game with his son. Basically cowboys & indians / cops and robbers only with a real gun. All kids play "guns" However when a parent steps in and plays with them with a real gun, seems kind of weird to me. So anyways, he didnt know, what happens? I dont know what those charges would be. Im guessing a form of man-slaughter involving a child. Which you can do time for. If Im driving and a kid chases a ball into the street, I hit them, and they die, I can do time. I think this case and trial will get bigger as time goes.

child was NEVER removed by cps. cps was never involved with this family. I know that for a fact.

It was no accident at all. it was MURDER MOST FOUL.
Another innocent child of GOD cheated out of life because of some brainless fool.

i know this family, and the last thing this man would do would be to intentionally hurt his child. No, it was not a smart thing to do, but it was truly a tragic accident. He did not mean to kill his child.
